A Camouflaged Combine

Sep 12, 2011

These combines are ready for hunting season? Well, many fall game seasons overlap with harvest, but is that why New Holland decked out machines in Real Tree camo?

Well, the answer is no. New Holland has an agreement with Real Tree to paint its Rustler utility vehicles with the camouflage pattern, and as part of its launch of the CR combines with SCR engines, the company wrapped a select few machines with Real Tree. The company hopes the camouflage has the reverse effect as its original intent and draws more attention to its Twin Rotor design.

Limited quantities of T9 tracors also feature Real Tree designs. The company is launching SmartT

rax, a new track design for the articulated four-wheel-drive models.

The company will have these special machines on display at farm shows through the fall.
